Google Play Movies Expands to 39 New Countries

One of the biggest hurdles modern tech companies that offer large ecosystems of video content face is finding a way to deliver that content to international markets. Netflix, for example, might have a licensing agreement to stream your favorite TV shows here in the U.S. – but try to access the service in Spain and you’re out of luck. Google overcame one of those hurdles recently, and today announced that its Google Play Movie service is now available in 39 additional countries.

The full list of countries with Google Play Movies support noted by Google today includes:

The company is now allowing users to stream or download titles across Android, iOS and the Web, and just like in other countries you’ll still have the option to either purchase a film or rent a copy. What remains to be seen, however, is how robust the offering is and which studios are on board. It could be a rather slim selection to start, depending on what kind of content Google was able to secure.
